Smoker advice from the Lounge: Pellet vs Gravity Charcoal


So my wife has decided I should get a new smoker for father's day / my birthday. I've been looking around for a while and THINK I've zoned in on the following:

- Campchef Woodwind 36" with the Sidekick BBQ box
or
- Chargriller 980 Gravity fed charcoal smoker.

Charcoal grill is cheaper up-front and imparts more smoke.

Pellet can do longer smokes, has cheaper fuel, and, with the sidekick, can do a lot more.

Both have wifi controllers and are fairly well regarded. At this point I'm not interested in the Egg option. I have a griddle and a bullet smoker. CC has a 24" smoker that's a few hundred cheaper, but I'd prefer at least a 30" grill.

Thoughts? Other recommendations? I'd like to keep wifi and ~$1500 or less.
